Fireworks display in Astoria set for Fourth of July By Alyssa Evans, The Daily Astorian Published: May 21, 2021, 7:32am Share: Fireworks enthusiasts will have a reason to celebrate this summer — the Fourth of July fireworks show is scheduled to happen this year in Astoria. The Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce announced the event on Thursday, marking a change from the 2020 celebration, which was initially canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. Local businesses funded a surprise show, which was revealed to the public an hour ahead of the display on July 4. Last year’s show cost an estimated $20,000, about twice the budget of the city’s 2019 show. This year’s show is expected to be the city’s largest yet, according to the chamber.
